VINCULADOS AL SACRIFICIO DE CRISTO
Hemos terminado el tiempo de navidad y nos encontramos en la segunda semana
del tiempo ordinario, Mateo será el evangelista que nos vaya trazando las palabras
que vienen de Dios durante los evangelios de este ano.
Nuestra misión durante este año litúrgico será santificar cada día y también identificarnos con Cristo Nuestro Señor. Ser también manifestación del amor de Dios y
motivo de orgullo para el Señor. Para conseguirlo sólo tenemos un camino, el de
identificarnos con Cristo. Hemos de esforzarnos para imitarle, para vivir como él
vivió, para morir como él murió, para ser como él es: reflejo de la bondad de Dios,
orgullo del Padre eterno.
El Siervo de Yahvé congregaría al resto de Israel, a lo que había quedado de la casa
de Jacob, aquellos hombres desperdigados por el mundo entero, aquellos que
habían conservado en sus corazones la sencillez y la esperanza. Son los que la Biblia llama "pobres de Yahvé". Pero Cristo no se limitaría a reunir a ese "resto" preanunciado por los profetas. Él vino con una misión universal, él será, es la luz para
todas las naciones. Y entre todos los pueblos habrá muchos que sigan a Cristo, atraídos por la luminosidad de su palabra.
También en esto hemos de asemejarnos a Cristo. Siendo como luces encendidas en
medio de nuestro oscuro mundo. Y es que la misión de Cristo se prolonga en los
que le siguen. Los que creemos en él somos, hemos de ser, una llamada a la esperanza. Y así cada cristiano que viva seriamente sus compromisos será como un
punto de luz. De esta forma, todos encendidos, construiremos un mundo mejor,
iluminado por el resplandor del amor de Cristo.
EL CORDERO DE DIOS.- Las orillas del Jordán bullían de muchedumbres venidas de todas las regiones limítrofes. La fama del Bautista se extendía cada vez más
lejos. Su palabra recia y exigente había llegado hasta las salas de los palacios, hasta
el castillo del rey a quien recriminaba públicamente su conducta deshonesta. Al
Bautista no le importó el peligro que aquello suponía. Por eso hablaba con
claridad y con valentía a cuantos llegaban. A veces eran los poderosos saduceos, en
otras ocasiones fueron los fariseos pagados de sí o los soldados que abusaban de
sus poderes. Para todos tuvo palabras libres y audaces que denunciaban lo torcido
de sus conductas y que era preciso corregir. Qué buena lección para tanto silencio
y tanta cobardía como a menudo hay entre nosotros.
Juan fue fiel a la misión que se le había encomendado: preparar el camino al
Mesías. Ello supuso el fin de su carrera, dar paso a quien venía detrás de él, ocultarse de modo progresivo para que brillara quien era la luz verdadera. Sí, el Bautista aceptó con generosidad su papel secundario y cuando llegó el momento se retiró, no sin antes señalar con claridad a Jesús como el Mesías anunciado, el
Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo.
Por tanto, es a Jesucristo, víctima inmolada y Señor glorioso, al que se representa
con el Cordero. Todo un símbolo que se repite una y otra vez, sobre todo en la
liturgia eucarística, para que en nuestros corazones renazca el amor y la gratitud,
el deseo de corresponder a tanto amor como ese título de Cordero de Dios implica.
Nuestra Misión parecernos a Cristo…. Paz y Bien

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church
Case Statement – Parish Identity and Mission Statement
Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Catholic Christian community dedicated to living and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus. We, as a
family of diverse ethnic heritage, are committed to calling forth the gifts of all members in the service of God’s Kingdom.
Our History
In the spring of 1920, “Miss Dewey” a parishioner of St. James Church (the only Catholic parish at the time in
the South Bay) encountered a group of young children frolicking on a dusty road in the hills of North Redondo
Beach, CA. Never having seen these children at St. James, she asked them where they went to church. One answered, “To the Placita Church when our father can take us.” Little Juanita Martinez replied, “What is church?
I have never been to church.” Shocked, Miss Dewey was moved to action with great apostolic zeal and generosity of heart to take these children to church and teach them the faith by beginning catechism classes for these children. Primarily through her efforts and those of the community of St. James, these children and their families
grew in their faith and in 1927, the first Mass was celebrated in the “hall” of the Guadalupe Mission serving all
the Spanish-speaking peoples of the South Bay. On February 14, 1958, the Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe
in Hermosa Beach was raised to the canonical status of a parish, the parish we are proud to be a part of today. It
has been almost 100 years since the mission of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus to our community began. It has
been almost 90 years since the first Mass was celebrated for our community rich in diversity and gifts for the service of
God’s kingdom. It has been almost 60 years that our parish and school has continued to grow and form our young children in
faith and excellence in academics to become good citizens and disciples for God’s kingdom. It is a proud vocation and tradition
entrusted to us today.
Our Needs
Nearly 10 years have passed since our parish gathered to rededicate our newly renovated church building to the
patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This much needed renovation of the church building, friary, and the offices was only accomplished by the generosity and hard work of all our parishioners here in our community. As a
result, it also gave rise to a rediscovery of our need to renovate our own hearts, minds, and lives for the building
of God’s kingdom - the need to use and develop our gifts and talents for all of God’s children. This recognition
also gave rise to a recommitment to focus and serve the needs of the young people of our small beach community
- in its diversity of faiths, cultures, socio-economic status, and heritage. By the leadership, vision, and hard work of the clergy, staff, principal, teachers, volunteers, and parishioners of OLG, we continue the excellence of education and faith formation of
our students.
Our growth and development have brought us now into a moment of great opportunity and excitement. With
more than 1600 families attending Sunday Mass each week, and the growth of the School’s enrollment in recent years, we
find that we are in need of more space. Our hope is to build a multipurpose facility – one that would include space for parishwide gatherings as well as a science lab and a music/technology classroom. In addition, we are planning on building additional
office space for the school faculty and administration so they may be well prepared to educate and guide their
students. As a result, this new building project will free up space for additional church ministries to the entire
faith community, as well and create a beautiful gathering space for our parish and school communities.
Your Opportunity
We want to give all our households the opportunity to participate in this important endeavor. A Planning Study
questionnaire will be available to every parishioner. If you are interested in completing this questionnaire online,
please visit the following link: www.changingourworld.com/OLGHermosaBeach. Please be assured that we will
not proceed with a campaign unless we have the full support and understanding of our people. Your feedback is
important. Our deadline for completing the survey will be January 30. Renderings of this plan will be posted in
the vestibule of the church.
Since 1920, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church has been the beneficiary of a generous and faithful community. We seek your continued support in making our goals a reality.
